If you look back 12 months from now, what do you want most in your business? What would it take for you to be able to say that this year was a success?
One of the things I often see with photographers is that we come in with lots of excitement and enthusiasm, but that same energy can die off if we aren't held accountable or have a group supporting us. Not to mention, how do you know with certainty if what you're doing will get you those results that you're looking for?
And as you know, in order to have drastically different results than what you're getting now, you need to do different things than you've ever done before. After all, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Yet what tends to happen is that we fall back into old habits. Then when you look back and wonder what happened this year when you don't accomplish your goals, you're left wondering "what went wrong?"
So if you want to have your breakthrough year, it's absolutely critical that you stay on track while also making sure you're spending your energy in the right places in order to build a business that is right for YOU.
I'm here to tell you that whatever goals you have are entirely possible and I believe with the help of my support and coaching, that can happen this year for you.
As I spent YEARS struggling in my business, I quickly learned what pitfalls to avoid when running a business and over time saw what it takes to create a 6-figure per year business.
The Inner Circle is for select senior photographers that are ready to take the steps they need to generate the incredible success they're after while I help you overcome the obstacles and hurdles you face in your business so that you overcome the unique problems in YOUR business.
I'm Sean Brown and after having grown my high school senior photography business to over six-figures per year, I now help motivated photographers like you to do the exact same so that you can have more time, flexibility and freedom to do what you want.
Through a proven step-by-step plan, I go beyond the one-size-fits-all solution that many course creators rely on and help you tailor an action plan that works for your business - and more importantly YOU - since your challenges are different than someone else's.
Feel like you have all of the trainings, tools and "know-how" but it's not coming together for some reason and you need a more tailored action plan
You are Working as hard as you possibly can, going to bed late, barely have time for yourself and can't fathom working harder to grow your biz...

You're starting to feel overwhelmed with how much there is to do in business and you need it simplified and streamlined

3 day In-Person retreat and workshop intensive - And there's nothing "retreat" about it... we make massive progress here!
Lifetime access to my entire framework to a six-figure senior photography business via the academy
At the conclusion of our time together, this is when I host the Inner Circle Retreat & Workshop Intensive. This is 3-days that are jam packed with learning, community, leveling-up and of course implementation so that you can go home and actually put into action all of those big plans that you've been dreaming up!
During the coaching calls, this will also be your opportunity for hot seats! This is where we will have the chance to go into the problems you face in your business and ultimately develop a game plan for everyone on the call. The great thing is that chances are if you're having a problem, someone else is too so we can solve that together!
Every month we'll come together for a deep dive coaching call that goes beyond the basic, starter questions of senior photography. This will be with other photographers who are in similar positions in their business so that you're with a community of like-minded, driven photographers looking to hit six-figures and build upon their current success.
There's nothing "retreat" about this... Because this is about coming together for 3 FULL DAYS to get you PROGRESS & RESULTS.
Here we will be in-person with workshop classes, hot-seat coaching sessions, activities and exercises that will push you and your business while giving you a game plan to come home with and implement into your business. And of course a shoot too.
The dates for the next retreat are Saturday January 30th through Monday February 2nd, 2026. The location is TBD.
This is the ONLY in-person event I do for my students and is exclusively for my Inner Circle members!
*Please note that accommodations and travel are separate but most meals will be provided during workshop days.
Photos are from previous retreat venues.
Client inquiry magazines, marketing carousels, session prep guides, welcome kits and more! Get instant access to ALL of that saving you HOURS and DAYS of sitting at your computer designing something (that never looks as good as had you just used a professional template to begin with...)
go from not having clarity on what to do next to having a clear, actionable path forward
Get a tailored action plan that works for you and your business (not some one-size-fits-all approach)
Create a business that works for your life, not the other way around
Focus on the things that actually matter in your business
have your biggest breakthroughs yet!
" I thought that what I was doing was pretty awesome, but the only problem was I wasn't booking as many clients as I would have liked to book. Joining has completely changed everything for me and all of my processes are more streamlined."
- AMANDA H.
"Here I am not photographing weddings, and making the same amount of money that I did before. Without Sean, I think I would have grown tired of spinning my wheels, grabbing every free thing I could get my hands on, and I would have quit."
- JAMIE C.
Once you're in, this is when we go into ACTION TAKING mode. The thing that separates the students you see here is that they take action that leads to massive results.
Once you apply, Sean will be in touch with you if the Inner Circle is a good fit for you. This will be your chance to ask questions and make sure I'm the right coach for you.
Apply for the Inner Circle. Because this is an intimate coaching environment, we only accept a limited number of photographers. So don't waste any time and apply now!

There's an author, Marshall Goodman, and his famous words were "What got you here, won't get you there."
In fact, all too often in business we think that just with a little extra hard work and hustle we can make anything happen.
After all, it's likely what got you HERE.
But if we solely rely on this hard work and hustle to generate future results, how long can we endure that before you feel burnt out, overworked and lose sight of what you're truly after in your business.
The truth is... If you don't make drastic changes to how you approach your business, you'll be stuck with where you are.
Our business maps from our behaviors and when we are stuck in the routine of doing what it is that led us to the success you're having today, it becomes extremely hard to break out of our daily habits and have that breakTHROUGH.
The worst part about that is it becomes hard to break our current habits that have led to success because we start second guessing ourselves... "What happens if this new thing completely breaks what is working already in my business? What if this new thing doesn't work out? How do I know that this will work and wouldn't it be easier to just do what I'm currently doing?"
These are all things that I went through in my own business and I've seen students that I've coached go through the exact same things. It becomes easier to second guess ourselves than to take the leap and go for it - even if going for it is the scariest thing we've ever done.
At the end of the day, you have to ask yourself this question...
Are you just content with where you're at because it's comfortable? Or are you searching for more in your business to give yourself and your family a better life? Have you accomplished everything that you wanted to accomplish - or is there something more that you want to accomplish deep down but haven't yet?
And if you're looking for more and want to have that BREAKTHROUGH in your business, I encourage you to apply for the Inner Circle.

When looking back in my business, the things that helped me the most in business are the things that scared the everliving $h!t out of me. That's because growth comes from stepping out of your comfort zone. After all - if you were truly seeing the results you wanted in your business, you probably wouldn't be reading this still.
You are constantly searching for the "magic bullet" to solve all your problems and aren't willing to put in the work.
You are a senior photographer and already are booking some clients, but you've been plateaued in the number of bookings for at least the past year and you aren't making $2,000+ sales.
You are serious about doing this as a BUSINESS - you're ready to take action and do the work.
You are committed, coachable and willing to do what needs to be done to take your business to the next level!
You value having a group of photographers that support you and you in turn support them. You understand that someone's success in no way takes away from your own successes.
You are ready to have a Six-Figure Business in a way that doesn't lead to you burning out and gives you more time with your family doing what you love.
You have a mindset that doesn't support coaching and choose to do your own thing regardless of the circumstance.
You are just dabbling with this and aren't ready to fully commit time-wise or financially to your success.
You are just starting senior photography. We recommend this for photographers who have been in business at least a year and already booking some clients.
You're not willing to show up for yourself - and in turn your business and family. This is only for those who are SERIOUS about seeing results and growth FAST.
Simply put... They do the work. The students that see the biggest, quickest results are those who take the time, put in the work and are coachable. They're willing to do what needs to be done and are committed to the processes we teach and recommend inside of Inner Circle.
This is for the photographer who is serious about growing their business to six-figures. While my other programs are great, you might have found that you're ready to go beyond the foundations alongside a group of photographers at a similar level in their business journey. Not to mention this is the only time I do in-person events!
That's exactly what our monthly deep-dive coaching calls are all about! We've found that this frequency is perfect because it allows you to get your questions answered but also have time to implement what you learn. Got questions in between? That's exactly what the Facebook group is there for.
